Title: RFID Bank cards Post by: cardiffian on January 03, 2013, 07:45:53 PM Let's hope these cards don't get issued too soon over here. I guess it's just a matter of time.

Barclays has been using it for a couple of years and my HSBC cards have it now.

Obviously the link has been doing the rounds. I hadn't heard of these type of cards and assumed they were new. I have just had a new Debit card from Natwest and that is the normal standard issue type.

I explained about the cards and the latest tech. which gave rise to a tyrade of objections. No No Never ect. Then I read Geoffs post. HSBC ?? thats our bank. I looked at mine ....no.....nothing on mine. Then Hubby checked his and, yes, there it is....He's already got one. Now he's going to take it to the Bank tommorrow and tell them to stick it. :o ::) We'll see.
